I was reading our local newspaper earlier and found an update on something that happened at a local High school a week or so ago.This really bothers me since its really close to our home now .On a typical day of school a message was found wrote on the girls restroom wall that has changed life for everyone in our area.The message was a threat to the school of gun violence(spelling) due to happen that specific day.Well of course as soon as this message was discovered the entire school was locked down and all students were confined to the rooms they were in.Every availiable police officer was sent to this school to start a investigation and just incase the threat was actually carried out.Nothing was found by police after a lengthy locker search or a room to room search with a dog.Now in the meantime every parent of the children in this school were kept at a distance and had no idea how there kids were for at least 4hrs.It was after this 4hr search police allowed the kids to leave the school.I then read the other day that they had arrested a young girl in connection with this threat.So today they posted her name and she lives in our village :eek: .Now please do not misunderstand me,it scares me more and more everytime i hear something like this happening in our schools .Something needs to be done and the time is NOW! Its bad enough we have familys losing loved ones in Iraq and now they have to wonder if there kids will make it home after school is over .Unless we all start speaking up NOW and put a stop to things like this,whats the future going to be like for our grandchildren?
